Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, safety and tolerability following a single dose administration of GOPRELTO® or NUMBRINO™ as an anesthetic for diagnostic procedures and surgeries on or through the mucous membranes of the nasal cavities in pediatric adolescent subjects.

Detailed Description

GOPRELTO® and NUMBRINO™ (cocaine hydrochloride nasal solution, 4%) are approved anesthetic products in adults. The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, safety, tolerability, and dosing of GOPRELTO® and NUMBRINO™ each as an anesthetic for diagnostic procedures and surgeries on or through the mucous membranes of the nasal cavities in pediatric adolescent subjects. The primary objectives for each treatment of the study are: * To assess the safety and tolerability of GOPRELTO® and NUMBRINO™ nasal solution in pediatric adolescent subjects as an anesthetic for diagnostic procedures and surgeries on or through the mucous membranes of the nasal cavities, respectively. * To evaluate the PK properties and define the dosing for GOPRELTO® and NUMBRINO™ nasal solution, respectively, in pediatric adolescent subjects as an anesthetic for diagnostic procedures and surgeries on or through the mucous membranes of the nasal cavities.

  • Is a non-pregnant, non-lactating female (if of child-bearing potential and sexually active) or is a male (if sexually active with a partner of child-bearing potential) who agrees to use a medically acceptable and effective birth control method from the time of the Screening Visit and then for 8 days following the last dose of GOPRELTO® nasal solution or NUMBRINO™ nasal solution administration. Medically acceptable methods of contraception that may be used by the participant and/or his/her partner include: abstinence, FDA-approved hormonal contraceptives (i.e., birth control pill, injection, patch or vaginal ring), diaphragm, intrauterine device, double-barrier methods, surgical sterilization, and progestin implant or injection. Prohibited methods include: the rhythm method or withdrawal.

Exclusion Criteria

  • A subject will be excluded from the study if he or she meets any of the following criteria:
  • Has a history of seizure.
  • Has a known hypersensitivity allergy to any ester-based anesthetics including cocaine hydrochloride, procaine, tetracaine, chloroprocaine, dibucaine, or benzocaine, and/or any other compounds of the drugs and /or devices that are part of this protocol (amide based anesthetics are NOT exclusionary).
  • Has previously received intranasal topical cocaine within 14 days prior to the Screening Visit.
  • Has participated in an investigational study or received an investigational drug within 30 days preceding Treatment Day
  • Has a history of abuse of controlled substances, nasal or otherwise.
  • Has a positive test result for drugs of abuse at the Screening Visit: amphetamines, barbiturates, cannabinoids, cocaine metabolites, opiates, and oxycodone via a urine test. Alcohol is prohibited within 24 hours prior to Treatment Day
  • Is a pregnant female or nursing mother or has a positive urine pregnancy test at the Screening Visit or on Treatment Day
  • Use of any serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors/selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs/SSRIs) up to 14 days prior to the Screening Visit or has a need to use these drugs at any time throughout the duration of the study.
  • Use of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAO) drugs up to 14 days prior to the Screening Visit or has a need to use these drugs at any time throughout the duration of the study.
